TWO KINDS OF SUGAR

• Sugar is a combination of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Mankind is unable to produce sugar using chemical processes. Only plants can manufacture sugar. Our table sugar comes from two different plants: sugar cane, and sugar beets. They are chemically identical. • It used to be thought that sugar could only be made from sugar cane. One scientist named Achard was viewed as a crackpot because he kept trying to get sugar from beets, which were easy to grow in cold climates. In 1806 Napoleon ordered all French ports closed to English products because a war had broken out between the two countries. This cut off the supply of sugar, which England got from its Caribbean colonies. When Napoleon heard of a man that could turn beets into sugar, he visited him and was so impressed that he took the Legion of Honor medal from his own chest and pinned it on him. Two years later there were 40 sugar beet factories in France. When the war ended, the price of sugar bottomed out and the beet factories closed. Today, two-thirds of the world's sugar comes from sugar cane, and one-third from beets.

IT’S A FACT

• Sugar was rationed in World War II because it was needed to make the ethyl alcohol which is a component of smokeless gunpowder. It took an entire acre of sugar cane to make enough gunpowder for five shots from a 16-inch gun.

PRESENT FROM BIRTH

• Children develop a taste for salty things by the time they are four or five years old, but the appreciation of sweet things is present from the moment of birth. In an experiment, babies had one of their hands placed in a bowl of uncomfortably cold water. Researchers found that babies would leave their hand in that cold water longer if they were distracted by being given something sweet.
